Warlord: King of All Clans

On the World Tree Avenue north of Isenpol, a small convoy of more than 30 people came out of the north gate of Isenpol and approached the United Knights.

If you are an experienced extraordinary adventurer, you can tell at a glance that the more than ten caravan companions are all extraordinary.

On the contrary, those fully armed mercenary guards were just an ordinary mercenary team.

Such mercenary teams can be found everywhere in the North. Their business is wide-ranging, from organizing groups to slay dragons to catching chickens for village women. They will do anything as long as they are paid, thus filling the service gap of the local government.

Among a hundred mercenary teams, there will always be a few that will grow and become stronger.

If the leader accumulates enough wealth and experience, and then purchases awakening potions, he can be promoted to an extraordinary adventurer.

But the rest can only make ends meet or die halfway.

A young black-robed wizard did not choose to hide in the carriage in the cold wind of early spring, but rode side by side with the captain of the mercenary team in front of the convoy.

The captain of the mercenaries was a big man from the North. Because this business was lucrative and the employer in front of him was particularly easy to talk to, he worked very hard.

"Master Locke, I have been working in the territory of the Freilov family for more than ten years - now I should say the territory of the River Bay. I am very familiar with this place. Whether it is business or adventure, I am a living map, and I guarantee it will be accurate!"

As he spoke, he confidently predicted, "Next, we will leave the World Tree Avenue and enter the small road. This area is relatively backward, and there are many forest paths. It is very difficult to walk. You must follow closely."

As a result, at the next intersection, the two stopped their horses and looked at each other in silence.

A wide road wide enough to accommodate three carriages running side by side appeared before them.

And this is not an ordinary dirt road, but a stone trunk road with a paved foundation and a hardened surface.

On both sides of the main road, there is a complete drainage system and street trees transplanted from nearby areas.

There are crisscrossing paths ahead, extending to the end of the sight.

Even outside the Earl's main city, there would not be such a luxurious road built!

The mercenary captain was dumbfounded. Under the gaze of the black-robed wizard, he hurriedly explained, "What's going on? This road didn't exist last year!"

It’s actually not his fault. The mercenary captain had indeed been here a few years ago and led a team of adventurers into the Wolf-Driving Plain for an expedition.

At that time, this place was still a remote countryside. He led his team through four or five knight territories, avoided a wild boar's lair, fought a battle with a kobold attack team, and went deep into the gravel hilly area. Finally, they encountered a group of wolves and retreated with heavy losses.

The mercenary captain still has lingering fears about that adventure, but it is also something he is proud of.

When the black-robed wizard was looking for a guide in the city of Isenbol and wanted to go deeper into the Wolf-Driving Plains, his colleagues immediately recommended him.

Originally the mercenary captain didn't want to come, but the money the sponsor offered was too much, and he had recruited several good fighters in the past few years, so he accepted the order.

Although he has not been here for the past two years, his colleagues in the city all say that Earl of River Bay has made great success in opening up the wilderness, and the risk factor of driving out the wolves is much lower than in previous years.

The black-robed wizard had some doubts about the mercenary captain's ability to guide, but he didn't say much. Seeing that the team was about to stagnate, he asked, "Then should we take this road?"

The mercenary captain took out his treasured map from his pocket, looked at it again and again, confirmed that the direction was correct, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"

The following "adventure" journey was increasingly beyond the mercenary captain's understanding.

This straight road extends from the World Tree Avenue to the depths of the gravel hills.

He kept comparing the surface on the map to see where the villages were, where the alien nests were, where the mountains and rivers were, and finally confirmed that he was not in the wrong place.

The young black-robed wizard took off his hood while the sun was shining, revealing his flowing golden hair.

On his slightly feminine face, there was a pair of delicate eyes. Under the sunlight, a hint of blood flashed in his blue pupils.

Blood mage Locke Kurolov.

As one of the ten apostles of the Red Moon Sect Leader, he now controls a branch of the sect, assisted by dozens of blood mages and hundreds of secret followers.

His other identity, the son of Count Kurolov, gave him the right to refuse the blood mark of the Red Moon Sect Master and become the only blood apostle who was not controlled.

The news of the disappearance of the Scarlet Queen Meredith, the Red Moon Sect's worshiper, was only known to the sect's core circle, and the ten apostles had to lead their teams out to personally search for the whereabouts of the goddess.

Fortunately, the blood mage who practiced blood magic had the best tracking skills among human beings, and he had a blood connection with the Scarlet Queen, the source of power, so he could roughly sense her location.

The leader of the Red Moon Sect clearly told everyone that the Scarlet Queen was not taken away from the empire, but was hidden somewhere in the north.

He had originally lost his bloodline sense and suspected that the Scarlet Queen had been taken to Trahil by the Elf Queen and there was no possibility of finding her again.

But one day last year, he suddenly sensed the call of the Scarlet Queen. Not only the Red Moon Sect Master, but almost all the mid-level and above believers could sense it.

So the leader of the Red Moon Sect mobilized his followers to look for the Scarlet Queen, hoping to bring her back.

The Scarlet Queen is the worshipper of the Red Moon Church and the highest authority in the church. The Red Moon Patriarch uses the Queen's oracle and powerful blood spells to win over thousands of core believers.

In the past two years, the Kurolov family has been dormant and recuperating. The young master Locke has made great progress in his cultivation and it is a good opportunity for him to come out for a walk.

If he could personally retrieve the Queen's Blood Coffin, his status would immediately surpass that of the other Blood Bishops and become second only to the Red Moon Sect Leader.

Although their own armed forces are powerful, the Red Moon Church is lurking throughout the human race and has spies in all forces, so it should not be underestimated.

With control over two forces, one visible and one hidden, that are among the top ten in the empire, what else can stop the Kurolov family from dominating the world?

As they walked along the main road, Locke's bodyguard, the high-level swordsman Gerard, rode closer on horseback, looked at the hills ahead and said, "I've been here before. There's a powerful monster guarding here. We have to be very careful next time."

If Freya were here, she would remember him, the high-level swordsman who ambushed and killed the little mouse.

As soon as they entered the United Knights Territory, Al, who was far away in the courtyard, had already launched a nationwide broadcast, "Calling Leo! Calling Leo! Threat spotted!"

After the seal of the atrium was lifted, El's soul power was released and the radiation area doubled. Even in the river bend, there was no need for communication equipment to transfer. Only more distant areas such as Isenpol City or Buck Fortress needed to be transmitted through signal towers.

Leo of Riverbend was warned and rushed to the atrium. He connected to El's telepathic transmission in front of the Emerald Tree and gained the right of vision of the atrium's detection system.

Before his eyes, an illusory sandbox map emerged. On the edge of the map, several small red dots slowly entered the United Knights' Territory and headed towards the atrium.
